Hi everyone!
Calamity, Doozer and I are very pleased to announce a new switchres-compatible emulator : Final Burn Neo! Although it's still pretty much beta, switchres integration has been merged by the FBN team, and it works for both Windows and Linux!
What's important to us to point here, it's that this emulator uses the resolution switching code used in GroovyMAME, that has been extracted as a library to help other emulators to be CRT-friendly. FBN is the first one we share, we have some other (ongoing) emulators targetted.
A few details about this beta and FBN itself :
- in-game resolution switching is not handled. Shouldn't be a problem with arcade, but some consoles do switch modes ...
- focus on horieontal displays only for now, the code still needs to be adapted for vertical layouts
- no code explicitely handle when the monitor refresh rate is too different from the real game refresh rate, tearing can occur
- only works on your primary monitor (if you ever have a multihead setup)
- adapt the shipped switchres.ini to your needs, the configuration is almost the same as mame.ini
- FBN has its own romset
- FBN MUST be started with the -fullscreen option. Best way to use it :
fbneo.exe -fullscreen <romname> or
fbneo.exe -fullscreen -menu for the basic GUI version
Remember this is beta, we hope you'll share your thoughts with us

Linux users can ask me on how to get/compile the linux version.
